At noon, when they were having lunch, each of Ye Xi's teammates had a wish crystal in their hands. Everyone was feeling extremely excited.

Truong Khai and Lo Lo were not stingy at all and told everyone about their idea of ​​"Quickly Clearing the Gate". Although they had not yet captured the second star, they still felt it was worth a try.

This decision immediately made Wang Xinran alert: "This can't be done!" After drinking the soup, Wang Xinran raised her head, her expression tense, "'he' would never allow fake participants in strange discussions to take shortcuts..."

Zhang Kai and Lu Lu immediately became nervous. Compared to other smart people who love to play, their great advantage is that they "listen to advice". Seeing that Wang Xinran did not agree with their idea, they immediately beat a big drum to retreat: "Then, then, then, we will not mess around!"

Seeing them like this, Wang Xinran couldn't take it anymore, afraid that because of her words, everyone would lose the opportunity to quickly clear the border, so she looked towards Ye Xi: "What do you think?"

Diep Tich was pondering this problem, pondered for a moment, and said: "I feel like it doesn't matter if I try."

Wang Xinran was right, "He" would never allow the participants in the strange talk to take shortcuts, but this kind of restriction usually has some expression in the rules, either clearly mentioning what is not allowed, or satirizing a bit of human greed, thinking themselves smart.

But this weird talk, the two rules do not have this kind of expression.

Therefore, although Diep Tich also felt that the method that Truong Khai and Lo Lo planned to use to "take all five crystals" was not very reliable, the risk of the operation was not too high. If that was the case, then taking one more crystal first would be good.

However, she still carefully helped them eliminate some hidden dangers that they could think of, such as the "underground basement".

General rule number 8: This institute does not have a basement, and of course there is no door leading to the basement. If you see a door leading to the basement appear before your eyes, please leave immediately.

Up until now, no one had seen the underground basement before, but the underground basement activated an ominous mechanism.

Diệp Tịch said: "In case you guys activate the 'underground basement' during this process, remember the rules, no matter what temptations there are, you must not enter."

"Okay..." Zhang Kai and Lu Lu hesitantly nodded, their hearts beating louder than the Jazz drum, they didn't want to continue trying.

Diep Tich said again: "This kind of taste test, no need to do it for children with red bracelets."

General rule number 7: When the red braceleted child makes a request to you, you'd better not refuse.

Communicating with red bracelets on children is inherently dangerous.

Lu Lu couldn't help but fill in a picture in her mind —— she imagined the underground basement appearing before her eyes, she was about to go, the little child with red bracelets asked her with a silly expression: "Big sister, take me down to see!"

So the veal is done!

Lu Lu was so scared by this brain supplement that her whole body felt like it was about to explode.

That afternoon, the big boss mission speed appeared to be different.

By noon, everyone was a star, but by the time the afternoon passed and dinner was over, the teammates had already used the method of Zhang Kai and Lu Lu to change the name of the little girl in the male-dominated family and obtained the second star.

But Chapter Khai and Lu Lu, on the contrary, did not catch the star again.

... The reason was that after thinking it over carefully, they still mustered up the courage to follow the original plan and tried it, but although they successfully found a young girl who had a similar encounter with Chu Xiaosheng, the other party also accepted and changed the name, but after changing the name, they didn't catch anything, fortunately they didn't encounter any danger.

This situation made the big guys somewhat confused. Diep Tich looked at the color of the star that the big guys placed on the table and asked Lo Lo: "The little girl you found this afternoon, what color is the bracelet?"

"Try green and light pink." Lu Lu said, "Green is just like Zhou Xiaosheng's situation, isn't it? The logic is 'because she was abandoned as a girl, and then because she was abandoned, her intelligence was damaged, and there's also a very typical family that favors boys over girls', light pink is a little luckier than them... Although she was abandoned as a girl, she was rescued very quickly, so she's very healthy."

Diep Tich and Vuong Tam Nhiem glanced at each other, let go of their hands: "You observed, you say it yourself."

"Alright." Wang Xinran said in a clear voice, "First, did everyone discover that regardless of whether it was Zhang Kai and Lu Lu who caught the stars from Zhou Xiaosheng, or the stars you learned from them in the afternoon, they were all green?"

The teammates nodded enthusiastically.

"Everyone should have noticed that the stars the kids gave out were the same color as the bracelets. The blue bracelet the kids gave out was of course the blue star color, and the green bracelet the kids gave out was the green star color."

"What I also observed is… All the stars that were captured through the 'Give the Boys Prejudice to Girls' name change are all green."

"But in my original design, the light pink bracelet is the easiest for children to get a star because of this reason."

—— because the pink bracelet baby is a "healthy abandoned child". And because of some stubborn traditions, healthy male children will basically not be actively abandoned by their families, even those with disabilities will be kept and well protected.

Wang Xinran thus observed the situation of the little children with pink bracelets, and unexpectedly discovered that this group was indeed all girls.

The remaining population of mentally disabled green bracelets are both male and female. However, a portion of the female children developed mental disabilities after being abandoned, while the male child, Wang Xinran, scanned the two QR codes on the bracelets and confirmed that they were all abandoned because they were born with mental disabilities.

So in Wang Xinran's opinion, "Pink Bracelet" should be the name that most people who care about men and despise women will hate.

But the truth is, the stars they got through changing their names were all from the mentally handicapped green bracelet girl, the light pink bracelet didn't seem to care about this, the specific expression was to let them change their names they could also calmly accept, and would even politely express gratitude, but the stars? There wasn't one.

Wang Xinran made a summary of this situation: "First, 'change name to get stars' should be the green bracelet's exclusive quest mechanism. Although there are also orphaned female children in the other groups who are male-dominated, it is impossible for them to change their names to get stars."

"Next, Zhang Kai and Lu Lu successfully obtained the star for Zhou Xiaosheng to change his name. In the afternoon, they tried the green bracelet for the children but couldn't get it. I think there might be a hidden restriction here, which is that each type of bracelet for the children can only give one star to the participants."

This conjecture has a side confirmation, that is they each need to catch five crystals, and the child's bracelet colors are blue, green, yellow, pink, pink, exactly five colors.

Vuong Tam Nhiem continued to say: "Therefore, if you want to save time, I suggest that everyone should not swipe the beauty that has already been captured, but go collect other beauty."

"... That is to say, is it necessary to communicate with the red bracelet child?" Qin Yueyue trembled, and said in a low voice, "Who knows what dangerous request they will say... I thought I could get around them."

"Don't be afraid!" Lam Van smiled and patted Tan Nguyet Nguyet's shoulder.

The two of them didn't know each other, and they were just right teammates. Qin Yueyue was very timid when she first entered the dungeon, and because of that, she almost angered the original guide NPC, so Ye Xi came forward to help resolve the matter.

However, being so timid also gave her a special trait, which was to be careful and cautious.

But Lam Van, is a bold and neurotic person. The two of them support each other, and working together every day is always a pleasure.

So now seeing Qin Yue Yue Fan scared, Lin Yun took on the responsibility of many things and said: "The red bracelet child I will contact, wait for me to understand the mechanism, you can learn it once and directly get the star!"

Tan Nguyet Nguyet swallowed and nodded: "Alright... Then you, don't be too impatient, let's think it over carefully, then go test..."

"Go." Lin Yun excitedly grabbed Qin Yueyue's hand, only to find that her palm was covered in slippery sweat.

... What a small liver.

Lam Van secretly mocked.

After dinner, everyone headed to the dormitory together, preparing to brush up on the little child who had taken the initiative to come to the door.

Liu Siyi and Li Rui stayed in the same room. Li Rui said he wanted to go to the supermarket, so Liu Siyi went back first.

Entering the newly opened room, the scene that entered Liu Siyi's eyes suddenly made him retreat.

Their room... was a mess, the originally tidy bedding was in disarray, the pillow was thrown on the floor. The snacks looked like they had been eaten secretly, leaving behind a lot of empty pockets. A corner of the curtain was stuffed into a teacup by a prankster, the desk lamp was also pushed over, lying powerlessly on the table.

Liu Siyi was shocked to remember the dormitory rule number 6: If you discover any situation outside your expectations in the room, please immediately go to the office at the end of the hallway and report to the manager.

... But Ly Thuy has not returned yet, he still does not know this situation.

A second of hesitation later, the sexual desire made him keenly grasp the message "Go ahead immediately", immediately lifted his feet and walked towards the end.

"Going first immediately" means that once he discovers the situation, he cannot delay, so he needs to go first. As for Li Rui, he has not discovered the situation yet. After he returns and finds out, he will quickly go find the manager.

"Knock knock knock." Liu Siyi knocked on the manager's door.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, dressed in blue work clothes, expressionlessly asked him: "What's the matter?"

"Our room was ransacked!" Liu Siyi felt his heart beating really fast, "Everywhere is a mess, and they even stole snacks!"

"Oh." The NPC obviously had nothing unexpected about this situation, calmly nodding, "Then you follow me."

Liu Siyi's back tensed up, he repeated to himself, "The big boss said this rule is real", only then could he stop himself from shaking.

He was taken to the manager's small room next door. In the small room, there was a view of only a 1 meter wide single bed and a small, narrow bathroom. The manager said, "You stay here tonight. Don't leave before 7:00 tomorrow morning. Don't open the door for anyone else."

"Okay..." Liu Siyi nodded vigorously, still wanting to ask "Does my roommate have a place to stay in a moment?", the manager had already closed the door and strode away, completely not giving him a chance to ask more questions.

Count... This is a strange dungeon, if you don't do it well, you'll randomly pick an unlucky person, Li Rui will return to normal in a moment.

If Li Rui also saw a mess, that manager would definitely be able to arrange a place for him.

The rule of the monster is that it is impossible for the player to follow the rules before the player dies.

Liu Siyi calmed himself down and went to the bathroom to simply wash his face.

Compared to their normal dormitory, the security factor of this small bedroom provided by the manager seemed to be higher, because this dormitory only had a small square crystal above the door, and no real windows. From the root, it was dangerous for monsters to break in through the window. As long as he locked the door, nothing should happen.

Liu Siyi therefore repeated the check on the door lock, locked it again and used force to pull it a few times, confirmed it could not be opened, then lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket properly, and prepared to sleep.

"Drive, drive."

Not long after, there was a loud knock on the door.

Liu Siyi shivered without being cold, suddenly his eyes widened. Only then did he realize that this was just a very ordinary knocking on the door.

He stood up, turned on the table lamp, walked to the door, and looked outside from the small square crystal block. Li Rui was saying something to him, but the crystal block was also a sturdy bulletproof crystal, very effectively blocking out Li Rui's voice.

Liu Siyi pointed at his ear and waved his hand, telling Li Rui that he couldn't hear.

Then he made a hand-raising writing gesture, signaling Li Rui to write down what he wanted to say.

Li Rui nodded and went to knock on the manager's door next door. Two minutes later, he came back and wrote on the white paper that the manager wanted to come to, then pressed it on the crystal and showed it to Liu Siyi.

On the paper it says: The room is not suitable, the manager asked you and I to hide together for a night.

"Oh!" Liu Siyi suddenly realized and wanted to open the door, but his hand was about to lock the door when he suddenly stopped.

He stared at Ly Thuy outside the door, taking half a step back, trying to find some weakness in him, but to outsiders, everything looked normal.

Liu Siyi was silent, shook his head, pointed at the manager next door, then pointed at the door lock.

Meaning the manager wouldn't let him open the door.

Now it was Ly Thuy's turn to wave his hand and say he couldn't hear.

Liu Siyi frowned, turned around and searched in the room, but couldn't find any paper or pen. Li Rui saw what he wanted to do, and inserted a piece of paper from under the door jamb, but the pen couldn't get in from the door jamb, so he pointed at the door again, signaling Liu Siyi to open the door, let him gradually put the pen in, then close the door again.

—— this action made Liu Siyi's guard increase a lot.

This seems like a normal suggestion, but in fact there are huge loopholes.

The reason they wrote the message was because the crystal and the door panels were soundproof, and also because they couldn't open the door. Now that Li Rui asked him to open the door for him, it seemed like he was helping him, but in reality, he was trying to trick him into giving up his defenses.

... This is very strange.

Moreover, if the rules require them to find an anomaly and seek out the administrator, the administrator should have the ability to provide shelter to every rule-abiding player, and not, after informing him not to open the door for others, make others hide with him.

Liu Siyi looked at Li Rui with cold eyes, without doing anything in response, turned back to bed, turned off the light and closed his eyes.

Outside the door, Ly Thuy seemed to be stunned, then started knocking on the door, knocking faster and faster, carrying a sense of fear.

The soundproof door was good, and the knocking sound could be heard. Liu Siyi was afraid that he would shake himself, so he turned around and used the blanket to cover his face, and also tightly covered his ears through the blanket.

"Bang ——" the sharp sound of broken crystal penetrated through the soundproof door, piercing Liu Siyi's ears, as if something had happened in the porch.

Next, the knocking on the door became even more urgent, Li Rui's voice also increased in extreme panic, even from across the door one could hear him shouting: "It's coming... It's coming! Liu Siyi! Open the door! Open the door!!!"

"Thump, thump, thump!" Ly Thuy kept knocking.

"Open the door! Liu Siyi!!!" He shouted until he almost lost his voice.

"Through —— through ——"

Liu Siyi heard heavy footsteps. These were clearly not human footsteps, shaking the earth and mountains, it seemed like some giant monster was approaching from the porch.

"Liu Siyi! Liu Siyi!!!" Li Rui's screams became more desperate, sounding hysterical.

Liu Siyi's thoughts wavered again and again, and were tightly suppressed by himself.

... He felt that his analysis was not wrong.

Moreover, if the rules require him to seek protection from the administrator, then the administrator's report to him should not be a lie.

So the problem must be outside of Li Rui. Li Rui used the transformation method to trick him into opening the door and tricking him into falling into a trap.

But what if Ly Thuy really gets into danger?

Liu Siyi shook his head fiercely, losing this kind of foolish kindness would kill him.

"Liu Siyi... Ah! Let me go! Get lost!" The voices outside became more chaotic, shouting and banging mixed together.

"A aaa ——" Liu Siyi heard Li Rui scream miserably, and sat up in shock.

Through that small square window, Liu Siyi saw the porch light changing from bright to dark.

"Bang!" Li Rui, whose face was covered in blood, immediately crashed into the small window, scaring Liu Siyi to jump.

"Let me in..." Li Rui's breathing was weak, his eyes were staring straight at Liu Siyi, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed straight onto the crystal, "Let me in...!"

The dazzling blood stimulated the fear instinct of the species, causing Liu Siyi's heart to be in turmoil. He wondered if his ability was completely stuck at this moment, his hands unconsciously gripped the blanket tightly, at any moment he would lift the blanket and get out of bed again, opening the door for Li Rui.

"Liu Siyi..." Li Rui's hand hit the crystal, leaving streaks of blood on the crystal.

No, no...

Liu Siyi's chest heaved continuously, staring at the bloody scene in the distance, repeatedly saying to himself: Can't tell, can't tell, can't tell...

The remaining shreds of reason were enough for him to repeat these words over and over again, to the point where he couldn't figure out why he couldn't.

.

In the dormitory between the two, Wang Xinran fully displayed her academic ability, gathering the many clues she had analyzed this day into a notebook, then focused on the child who took the initiative to find them that night.

——Because in their room right now there is a little girl wearing a light pink bracelet, this is the danger they can easily trigger.

Taking advantage of the little girl going to the bathroom, Wang Xinran asked Ye Xi in a low voice: "You said that there are taboo rules for children to enter the bathroom, what clues are you hiding behind?"

She said there are three taboo rules in total, which are:

"2. When your room has yellow/green/red bracelet orphans, please do not let the light pink bracelet orphans enter your room;"

"3. While your room has the light pink bracelet orphan, please do not let the blue bracelet orphan enter your room;"

"4. The yellow bracelet and the red orphan bracelet cannot appear in your room at the same time."

Wang Xinran felt that this should not be a random taboo, there should be logic behind it, because it was normal for these children to be together during the day.

Diep Tich heard that and stopped: "I was just thinking about this."

"If we think about it according to normal thinking, I can think of it as when we are alone with these little kids, it is easier to arouse their jealousy and comparison. Like… Like if the teacher gives all the kids in the class sugar, then everyone feels it is nothing, but if we only call a few kids into our office, even if everyone gets the same amount of candy, in their hearts they will probably secretly compare whether the teacher likes the other person more, perhaps inadvertently saying something can make the kids differentiate between high and low in their hearts."

This conjecture also fits the general rule saying "Children's inner world is extremely sensitive, pay attention to the words and actions you find during work".

Ye Xi continued: "If this basic logic is correct, the yellow/green/red bracelet children are all disabled, while the light pink bracelet children are healthy, so they might be jealous of each other's health."

"The light pink bracelet and the blue bracelet are both fine, but the light pink bracelet was voluntarily abandoned by the parents, the blue bracelet became an orphan because of the parents' deaths, so the light pink bracelet might be jealous of the blue bracelet that had received too much love from the parents."

"As for the yellow bracelet and the red bracelet..." Ye Xi paused in his words, "One is physically disabled, one is mentally handicapped, but both are mentally normal. They will probably exaggerate their own disabilities, and then become self-conscious, thinking that although the other party is not perfect enough, they are still much stronger than themselves?"

"There is such a possibility." Vuong Tam Nhiem nodded.

Self-deprecation is really scary, no matter for adults or children.

"Clang——" The toilet flushed loudly in the bathroom, the two people tacitly stopped talking to each other. Two minutes later, the little girl with pink bracelets washed her hands, happily threw away the water bubbles on her hands and ran out: "I'm done!"

At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

Diep Tich opened the door, outside was a little boy wearing a red bracelet.

According to the literal meaning of the rule, when there is a red bracelet, don't let the light pink bracelet enter, it is unsafe to put it in before red and then pink, otherwise it seems to be fine.

... But if what they just analyzed was correct, then would it really be okay?

.

In the small room, Liu Siyi forced himself to endure until Li Rui disappeared, and forced himself to endure until 7:00 the next morning.

At exactly 7:00 a.m., the manager was wondering whether Liu Siyi could go out directly or not. He used the key to open the door from the outside and looked at Liu Siyi with his eyes: "Did you sleep well?"

Being tortured by fear to the point of not being able to sleep all night, Liu Siyi raised a pair of panda eyes: "..."

The administrator said to the NPC with no emotion: "You can go now."

"... Okay." Liu Siyi sat up and walked out. The intense fatigue made him feel like he was stepping on cotton. Every step he took made his legs go weak, and his mind was also in chaos.

He didn't dare to return to his room, just quietly peeked in from the door, saw Ly Thuy folding the blanket, turned around and ran.

... In the current situation, he could roughly think of three possibilities.

First of all, the one who appeared outside his door last night was not Li Rui at all, it was a strange monster. He made the right choice not to open the door. Right now, Li Rui was folding the blanket in the room and there was no problem.

Second, the one who appeared outside his door last night was Li Rui, he should have opened the door for Li Rui, but because he didn't confess, Li Rui was harmed, now the thing in the room is fake, or contaminated;

The third type, last night appeared at his door was Ly Thuy, but at that time Ly Thuy was also contaminated, at that time he was deceiving him, now Ly Thuy's existence is also dangerous.:,,.
